Careers that can be pursued today

http://mystudentrockstars.blogspot.com/

Even three decades ago MBA was not known to all students and most people believed career means getting into Engineering or Medicine. Of course there were CS and CA to pursue which also had a good scope but very few youngsters had the aptitude for the same. The secondary options were B Com, LLB, BA and BSc. In the case of BA and BSc most people use to undergo post-graduation either to become academics or at the most research scientist.  Those who have pursued BA very few people were successful in getting into MA (Social Sciences) to pursue a career in Personnel management.

There are many careers to pursue today provided candidates have an aptitude for the same. But all those which are in demand by employers require o be selected by an entrance examination followed by an interview at the educational institute level. As III have mentioned in this article earlier one should have an aptitude for the same.

At a glance I am giving here some important careers here. They are MBA (marketing, finance, HR and others), B.E or B.Tech, CA, CS, B.Arch and above, MBBS, MD (specialization), M.C.A., B.Ed, Fashion Technology (post graduate diploma), Forensic science (degree and PG), CFA, Naval Architecture, Animation, B.Sc (computer science), Hospitality and Hotel Industry.

Careers today are not what they were several years ago.  People traditionally viewed careers as a sort of upward staircase from job to job, more often than not with just one or, at most a few firms. trend toward such reinventing of careers in India. Careers today differ in other ways from a few years ago.

First were the MBAs through IIMs located at three places in India as IIM – Ahmedabad as best of the lot. But all the IIMs preferred Engineering with two years’ experience in the industry. The institutes were giving very few seats to non-engineers but with more experience in reputed organizations. This has not helped all the intelligent people from engineering and other backgrounds.

Later several universities have started MBAs mainly with Human Resources, Marketing and Finance. They were initially taking 1st class graduates. When the rush has increased in joining MBA then the common entrance test and Common admission test were conducted. The admission was based on the top rankings based on the number of seats available in the universities. Later on MBA with specialization of retail marketing, capital markets event management etc., were introduced. The reputed institutes  like Tata Institute of Social Sciences, Mumbai, Xavier’s Institute of Labor relations, Jamshedpur, BITS., Pilani have introduced there specialized courses for Human Relations and Technology. The admissions for the same were through entrance test and ranks.

Then universities have started Master courses in Computer applications and some companies like Wipro have started their own courses and recruiting candidates after graduation in Science or   Engineering. The Postgraduate Degree awarded by the universities or companies is called MCA.

Animation:
To be considered an animator, you need to understand animation and be able to think of stories and characters. But many students mistakenly believe that being proficient with certain software qualifies them to be a successful animator.

From The Jungle Book to Toy Story to Beowulf, the animation industry has come a long way and is set to touch a billion dollars by 2012 in India alone.

There was a time when scores of animators laboriously sketched and painted each frame to make an animation film – 24 frames made, just a second of a film. But, today most animations are done on computers, making the process a lot easier and leaving little room for error. The early animators used shading to give depth to their 2D animation. However, this was inconvenient as it was difficult to replicate the same shading in two different frames. Technology made the process simpler. Advancing technology also added a realistic touch to animation.

Talking about outsourcing a big chunk of the technical work in animation is being outsourced to India. However, at present, this work largely comprises technicians involved in the back end production of animation movies rather than animators who idea stories.

Fashion Industry;

The fashion industry demands hard work, passion and tremendous grit. Many young fashion aficionados today, miss out on an early education in fashion because of their misconceptions about the business or a lack of awareness of the educational opportunities available. There are a host of post graduate programs that you can pursue to help you break into the industry. These courses can give you a complete grounding in the business. Today, the PG courses available in fashion institutes in India.

The fashion scene today, is extremely promising, as Indian designers are making their mark globally. Increasing fashion consciousness brand awareness (lead by the retail invasion), higher disposable incomes and higher spend on clothing and life style products, ensure that the domestic market holds great promise as well.

Hospitality and Hotel Management careers:
Hospitality and Hotel Management careers have become much sought after and lucrative options for thousands of young professionals in India. The industry has changed significantly offering high salaries, stability and career growth. In fact, students with hospitality degrees are in high demand, not just from hotels but from variety of companies in the service sector.
